The mold was removed from the clay model last night, it was difficult to pull the rubber off since it was pretty thick\/stiff in places it needed to be and a lot of undercuts and keyhole areas, the original unfired clay model mostly surviced the mold making process, only the curled tail broke off but it was a fairly clean break and it can be repaired so that eventually- I hope- when I buy a larger kiln I can try firing it.
\nNr 170 did not survive the mold making process but that’s ok, I have a plaster master from it and the mold.<\/p>\n

The models were all made from Georgie’s “Three finger jack” clay which is a cone 8-10 high fire clay, this model if I ever get to firing it will have to be slowly pre-heated around 200 degrees F for quite a while, and then very slowly fired probably over a couple of days time and then slowly cooled down under a powered-on slow schedule rather than having the kiln shut completely off at final temperature.<\/p>\n
